Old Men (Lay Down) - The Cross

Take a trip to China if you dare

They gotta lotta old men shooting young men there

Iran or Russia or the USA

Old men lay down

Lay down old man you’ve had your fun

Lay down old man your time is run

Lay down your arms let in the light

Old man lay down

Old men with old clothes

Old men with minds closed

Old men with bad teeth

They own you they own me

Take a trip to China if you dare

They gotta lotta old men shooting young men there

Old men with bad teeth

They own you they own me

Old men in big cars

Old men with missiles

Old men on TV

They own newspapers and they own me

Have you seen a politician with a mile wide smile

Who didn’t love himself more than a mother loves her child

Old men on TV

They own newspapers and they own me

Take a trip to China if you dare

Look at Iran — Jesus

Look at Russia — they’re getting better

Or the USA — maybe they’re getting better

The Lebanon and the Vatican and Panama, most of South America

Old men on TV

They own you they own me

Old men lay down your arms let in the light

Lay down your arms let in the light

Old men lay down

Take a hike — get out of here — get on your bike

You had your time your time is run
